Hiroshima Tetchan (ひろしま鉄ちゃん)

Hiroshima Okonomiyaki at Machida

This restaurant is one of the favorites of me and my husband and we try to visit it regulary. At the Hiroshima Tetchan (ひろしま鉄ちゃん) they serve Hiroshima styled Okonomiyaki, which is different to the Osaka styled one you find all over Japan. One of the differences is that Hiroshima Okonomiyaki includes soba noodles. The restaurant is only a few minutes away from Machida station at the underground floor of Hontama Building. It’s a small, familial restaurant with around 30 seats. You can watch the chef preparing the dishes in front of you. Also the interior welcomes you to Hiroshima with many pictures on the wall. You even can take a look through Hiroshima travel books while waiting for your order. They have a varity of Okonomiyaki on their menu, prices are between ¥ 750 and ¥ 1220. For an additional payment you can get more toppings. I especially love the cheese mochi Okonomiyaki. May husband always orders double-soba. Also some other dishes are available. Unfortunately, the menu is only available in Japanese. The restaunrant is opened from Wednesday to Monday from 11:00 to 22:30. It's closed on Tuesdays. You can find more information on the HotPepper page: https://www.hotpepper.jp/strJ000249727/ If you come up being around Machida, take a look there. You don’t have many chances to get a great Hiroshima Okonomiyaki outside of Hiroshima.
